"Extremely kind in their care and communication"

About: Royal Alexandra Hospital / Cardiology

(as a relative),

My dad has a pacemaker. He noticed he was getting an unusual sensation in his heart over the past week and became concerned enough to call the Cardiology department at the RAH recently over lunchtime.

Even though her shift had just ended Alison took the time to listen to my dad’s symptoms and said she would phone him again soon to offer an appointment. As per her word she spoke to my dad’s symptoms one morning and arranged to see him at the Rah that afternoon.

As my dad is 81 I attended the appointment with him. Alison was extremely kind in her care and her communication. She was thorough, she explained everything really well. She discussed options and was able to completely reassure us. She was completely professional and her communication is both was excellent so we’d like to pass on our thanks.

Dear januaryqd95

Thank you for sharing your positive experience of attending the Cardiology department of the Royal Alexandra Hospital with your father. We are pleased to hear that Alison provided compassionate, timely, and thorough care to your father during a concerning time.

We understand how worrying new symptoms can be, especially when managing conditions such as having a pacemaker, and we are proud that our team was able to respond promptly and reassure both your father and yourself. Clear communication and patient-centred care are central to our values, and it’s wonderful to know Alison exemplified these qualities.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be shared with the team. We wish your father continued good health.

Kind regards

Kevin
